International Prize for Sustainable Architecture 2012Deadline for online registration: 31 December 2011  The International Award for Sustainable Architecture now is in its ninth edition. The Ferrara Faculty of Architecture, Italy, has been involved in international seminars, courses and activities concerning the sustainable architecture during these years. The International Award for Sustainable Architecture arose from the important international manifestation of the decennial of the foundation of the School of Architecture of Ferrara, held in 2003. Conceived and promoted by the School itself and the Fassa Bortolo, leader in innovative solutions for construction industry, the Award is intended to redirect attention to the necessity of reexamining the relationship between the process of construction and the habitat through the pursuit of compatibility among economic productivity, the safeguarding of resources and the quality of the environment. The Award is given annually to a work designed by individual architects or architectural or engineering firms that best represents the fundamental principles of the idea of sustainability. The work must have been realized in the course of the last five years. In addition, two Special Mentions are awarded to projects considered outstanding for particular aspects. The Award is also open to the world of Academia, hosting a section dedicated to projects developed as degree theses on themes pertaining to the Award’s objectives, thus providing a space for the important ideas and works that arise from the breeding grounds of future professionals.
